Chapter 19: The first encounter with Cheng Bites Gold
Qing Xuan opened his eyes and thought, "I'm afraid I'm already in the Netherworld at this time." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info for a while, is there a little ghost coming over and throwing me in the oil pan to fry? No, I need to get out of this place quickly, no matter where he can escape, he can't stay here anyway. Thinking of this, he got up, but the sharp pain caused him to lie back on the bed again. At this time, a rude voice came from my ear: "Don't move, your wound hasn't healed yet." ”
"You, who are you? Where is this? ”
"If it weren't for that Nine Turning Back Soul Pill, I'm afraid you would have gone to see Xiaobai at this time."
The man didn't answer Qing Xuan's question, but just said to himself. He turned his back to Qing Xuan and looked out the window. A bright armor shone brightly in the sunlight.
"But you don't have to worry, I've already rubbed you with good gold sore medicine, and it will be better in a few days."
"Yes...... You saved me? Qing Xuan asked with a gasp.
"If you kid don't have that ability, don't go to that kind of place, don't you know how many people have lost their lives there in search of treasure? If you hadn't met me today...... the man had barely finished speaking, when there was a sound of small footsteps outside the door, followed by a dull knock. "Come in."
"General, dinner is ready, please come over and eat." is also dressed in military uniform, articulate, handsome, a young man in his twenties stood at the door and saluted and said.
"Well, I'll go over and ask someone to cook some porridge for this kid, and if you've eaten, stay here and take care of it."
"Please rest assured, the little one will take good care of him."
Cheng Yanjin turned to leave. This time, Qing Xuan saw his face clearly: he had a dark face, high cheekbones, thick eyebrows swept obliquely, eyebrows flew into the sideburns, a pair of hairs under his lips, a firm nose, and a resolute gaze. Judging from his words and deeds, he must be an extraordinary character, Qing Xuan thought.
A bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes arrived from the kitchen. "I'll help you sit up." The young man said.
Qing Xuan nodded. The young man helped him sit against the wall, and then fed him the porridge one bite at a time.
"Excuse me, was that general who saved me? Who are you, and where am I now? Qing Xuan, who had eaten enough, had the strength to ask several questions in a row. He wanted to know too much what happened after he was attacked by that monster in the snow.
"We are an army stationed in the pass, because we are chasing a small group of rebels who have infiltrated the pass, passing through the North Club, we happened to meet you being attacked by those monsters. You were wounded and unconscious, and we drove the guys away with weapons and brought you back. ”
"My name is Zhang Liang, and my boss, the general of the defending army here, is called General Cheng Cheng and Jin Cheng. Oh, by the way, the one who just went out. Although he is a man with an odd temper, he is very skilled and very good to his subordinates. ”
"Cheng Biting Jin, it turns out that he is the famous Cheng Biting Jin in history." Qing Xuan thought to himself, it turned out that he saved me, it seems that I am really lucky. But he seems to be much more handsome than the history books portray.
That bead of mine? Qing Xuan suddenly remembered the treasure he had found in Beiju...... A soybean-sized luminous bead, he subconsciously put his hand into his arms, and what touched his fingertips was a round thing. Thankfully, it's still there. He saw that Zhang Liang was beside him, so he didn't take it out, he couldn't take it out until there was no one in the house. By the way, and my horse, I don't know how it is now.
"Excuse me, how is my horse doing? It's, it's nothing, right? Qing Xuan looked at Zhang Liang worriedly, he was fiddling with a saber in his hand, he wiped the saber with a red silk cloth Cheng Liang, and then looked left and right at the light, it could be seen that the sword was his beloved thing, the red jade on the sword hung down to the ground, Qing Xuan could imagine it dancing in the wind, it must be very beautiful.
"What horse?" Zhang Liang didn't look up at Qing Xuan, just looked at the sword in his hand intently. "We didn't see any horses when we went, maybe it was eaten by a monster."
"Oh my God! That's my most beloved friend, what will I do if he dies? "Qing Xuan clenched his fists, and he couldn't wait to get up and kill those monsters immediately." Even if I want to buy a new one, I have to go back to Chang'an and sell this bead to buy a new horse. But it's so far away from Chang'an, how long will I have to walk to get there? Frustration made him not in the mood to look at the sword in Zhang Liang's hand, as well as the beautiful red Yingluo, he hoped that he would get better soon and find a way to return to the capital quickly, he didn't want to stay in this broken place all the time.
It was getting dark, and candles were lit in the barracks. Except for a small group of soldiers patrolling outside, the rest of the soldiers returned to the barracks to rest. After dinner, Cheng Yanjin came over again to look at Qing Xuan's injury, and then instructed Zhang Liang to change the dressing on time and went out.
The barracks are fully equipped: two military beds, two military tents, two new sets of bedding; a round table of birch, two stools, a military kettle on the table, and several tea bowls; Two calligraphy and paintings were hung on the wall near the window, and a screen with a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain was placed in front of the door.
Judging from the facilities in this room alone, it doesn't look like an ordinary soldier lives, and it seems that the general really looks at Qing Xuan differently. But Qing Xuan couldn't think of anything special about himself that could make Cheng Yanjin value him so much. However, his current physical condition does not give him the energy to find out more about it, and he will only talk about it when it is better.
When Zhang Liang went out to relieve himself, he secretly took out the beads in his arms, which became more and more radiant under the light of the candlelight, and in order not to be discovered, he hurriedly put it back in his arms. Now, all he has is this bead.
After changing the medicine, the two lay down on their respective beds, and because of the pain, Qingxuan tossed and turned on the bed, and did not fall asleep in a daze until Zishi.
The gold sore medicine was indeed very effective, and he took it with a dressing, and after about a week, his injuries improved greatly. Except for a little pain during strenuous exercise, he is able to move freely in other situations. Qing Xuan was going to leave the general in two days.
After dinner that day, he wanted to go outside, so he put on his clothes and brought the Qingfeng Sword. Because the border is not as good as the capital, he may encounter foreigners entering the territory at any time to plunder, and for safety, he must carry a weapon for self-defense.
Longmen Town has a radius of 500 kilometers, a population of 50,000 people, and a garrison of 5,000 troops. Because it is located on the border, there are often foreigners who sell some cattle and horses, knives, and leather goods here, and there are also merchants from the south who come here to sell some porcelain, silk and jewelry, and then import some of the special products here, which are transferred to the south to sell and make huge profits, so the market here is very lively.
